Brief description:
[color="#000000"][color="#1C2837"]This game is a throw back to the 80's in game play style. It is a simple top down scroller rpg that will closely resemble "Wasteland".
The concept and story line are being developed and follow the three act format. Most of the game plan is in a notebook but a concept

[color="#1C2837"]document should be ready by next week and available for qualified and interested parties. There are many entertaining components
[color="#1C2837"]that will go into this game and it will be very fun to play. Especially for gamers that grew up in that era and enjoyed Wasteland.

[color="#1C2837"]
[color="#1C2837"]The concept and pre-production were started last month.
The game engine template is under development and should make level design a snap.

[color="#1C2837"]I may attach a pitch document to this thread, but I'm not going to release the concept or design docs to the public.
[color="#1C2837"]
[color="#1C2837"]Target aim: [color="#1C2837"]To complete the game. We can decide what to do with it after it is done.
[color="#1C2837"]
[color="#1C2837"]Compensation: [color="#1C2837"]Lets share the profits if the game sells. (based on level of involvement and contribution)
[color="#1C2837"]
[color="#1C2837"]Technology: [color="#1C2837"]Target platform: PC
[color="#1C2837"]This game is being developed with Game Maker 8.0 pro.
[color="#1C2837"]It uses simple 2d top down sprite graphics and character encounter animations.
[color="#1C2837"]

[color="#1C2837"]Developed a platform game as a team project at DeVry. ([color="#1C2837"]using Game Maker 8.0 pro)[color="#1C2837"]

[color="#1C2837"]Additional Info:
[color="#1C2837"]I have wanted to do a Wasteland clone for several years and now that I have had a course on Game Maker and
[color="#1C2837"]see how easy it really is, I am going after it. Looks like we have most of the talent we need to git er done, but
[color="#1C2837"]still need a 2d pixel artist to do our art work. The plan for this is good and it should make a great game.

We have a team of 5, but are still looking for more 2d graphics makers.
We need many tiles and character graphics and 1 person can't do it all.
If you can make game sprites, tiles and / or pixel art and have time to
contribute, please let us know asap. If you are familiar with Wasteland,
we are going to need artwork for the encounters. The close up pictures
pop up when the party has an encounter or deals with a merchant.

* edit *

We are now a team of 6 and should start gaining momentum soon.
We have 2 artists but would accept another artist and/or developer.
I will also update the team structure above. Feel free to contact me
if you are interested in this project.

We are still seeking an additional 2d sprite / tile artist to finish up the team.
Please contact asap if you would contribute your talents to this promising project.
